3:42
it is very expansive with the roof you
3:44
know there's a lot going on
3:46
you never realize that there's a
3:47
recreation of st augustine in here
3:50
still carrying on to the hotel lobby
3:52
please do not
3:53
feed or throw coins in the pond so you
3:57
don't want to throw them in the pond
3:58
but you also don't want to feed the koi
4:01
any coins
4:03
they are not piggy banks
4:08
this is so beautiful and here are some
4:08
of the other activities they have

4:18
a bit
4:19
quite a bit of things to do this is the
4:22

the check-in area
4:25
all right all checked in i am on the
4:28
sixth
4:29
floor on the saint augustine side
4:31
looking over the atrium they also said
4:33
even though you have an atrium main view
4:35
you could possibly
4:36
be on the first floor but there was a
4:38
sixth floor available
4:39
so she put me up on the sixth floor
4:41
which is very nice so keep that in mind
4:43
if you do book
4:44
an atrium view you might be on the
4:46
bottom floor so you might want to
4:47
request something a little higher if you
4:49
want a better view
4:57
and starting off every room tour good to
4:57

4:58

6:37
i believe here one there one there
6:40

6:41
surprisingly there's no light up here
6:44
there's only one light one lamp in
6:46
between the two beds
6:48
we got the central air over here as well
6:51
as some more
6:52
artwork nice size headboard once again
6:55
go out there in a moment
6:56
oh and we got no keurig here but there
6:58
is a
6:59
coffee maker right down here they also
7:01

inside
7:32
of the room looking back across here
7:35

7:37
floor oh they do provide
7:39
bottles of water i believe my mom
7:41
brought her own
7:43
here in a bag for my dad and i but
7:46
there's also this look at this is like
7:48
some silver here some aquafina
7:51
it's always a nice addition when a hotel
7:53
provides bottled waters
7:55
it's a nice little touch and has a
7:58
ceiling fan so that's a win-win for me
7:59
and now
8:00
out on two oh that opened up quickly
8:03
do both of these open okay both open
8:10
all right so both of these open kind of
8:10
feels like you're outside doesn't it
8:13
paradise it's not as humid though
8:16
less humidity yeah when i first walked
8:19
in the room
8:20
i thought i was looking outdoors i mean
8:22
i guess that you kind of get that
8:24
feeling because of the glass up there
8:30
no it will be they'll probably have
8:30
those those lights over there all
8:33
illuminated
8:34
and if it rains outside which it might
8:36
even be raining right now
8:38
there'll be no rain in here
8:54
oh right over here like home okay
8:54

9:01
that's a good question i'm gonna say yes
9:23
very different kind of bark
9:23
it's a tree that i've never seen it
9:25
looks like some kind of fruit is coming
9:27

12:31
right over there man this is so cool
12:34
all through here look at this
12:39
amazing oh wow
12:46
i think it might be a snake or something
12:46
in there there's a little shack here
12:48
look at this little shack oh it's called
12:51
the sawgrass place
12:54
right there oh you can go in there you
12:56

13:00
oh there's some alligators i see them
13:02
inside there right there
13:31
slithering serpents oh goodness
13:31
oh wow it's a corn snake oh my goodness
13:36
i am now back at the atrium lobby here
13:38
well
13:39
behind the i'm at the at this at the
13:41
little area where the check-in is and it
13:43
seems like that they are differing from
13:44
the information at the pool
13:46
so she's going to call the pool manager
13:49
seems as if the lazy river will be open
13:52
a little bit later so i might get
13:53
i might get pretty lucky with that now
13:55
they also do have this expansive pool
13:57
which is not going to be open because
13:59
they're doing a little bit of issue had
14:00
some issues with the pipes and whatnot
14:02
and they also check this out over here
14:04
they even have like a satellite view
14:06
of the storm that's rolling in back up
14:09
at the room now
14:10
it's a 505 this is showing that there
14:12
are thunderstorms till six
14:14
after that no rain just cloud so it
14:16
might might be a chance
14:19
now back up on the balcony here
14:25
that's where i walk down through the
14:25
everglade area
14:39
it looks like the sun is peeking out
14:39
though so
14:40
it is clearing up out there of course
14:42
the sun will be setting soon but at
14:44
least the rain might subside
15:04
it looks like some sort of a tree house
15:04
yeah it kind of has like an
15:05
adventureland vibe to it
15:08
that's in the everglade area
15:20

you know how to tell the difference
22:13
between an alligator and a crocodile
22:17
the nose the nose nose the nose nose
22:21
you got it right mom that's one of the
22:22
main reasons of the nose this has a more
22:25
circular snout where crocodile is more
22:28
pointy
22:29
and a crocodile is a lot faster than an
22:31
alligator
22:32
all of those eyes are looking at us like
22:35
they're hungry for some dinner
22:37
